Ex-Senior Software Engineer for a private consulting firm, Michael used to spend much of his time coding C++. Michael specialized in component-software technologies, particularly COM and CORBA. Additionally, Michael has worked as an editor and reviewer for SAMS Press, most recently as Technical Editor and Contributing Author for Stephen Prata's C++ PRIMER PLUS, 4th Edition. Now, Michael mostly sits in his studio, making noise on a few walls full of synthesizers and guitars.
Now, Michael has quit the software scene and is a full-time student in Mathematics at Florida State University. He also owns a property-development company, where he wears a black top hat and twiddles his long mustache in gleeful anticipation of evicting widows and orphans.
